Niedermayers Go To Disneyland

Brian Burke made his first big splash as the Ducks GM by signing Scott Niedermayer and re-signing brother Rob to 4-year deals.So much for the rumors, fuelled by the departures of Marek Malik and Brent Sopel, of Scott signing with the Canucks. Would've been nice, but given the salary cap, this would have required some serious creativity from Dave Nonis.The Canucks still only have four defensemen signed. Looks like we're going to see the likes of Nolan Baumgartner, Kevin Bieska and even Wade Brookbank more at GM Place.
